The Chattanooga Times says that the
official announcement will be made in a
few days of an advance of 5 per cent. in
the wages of the employees Of the West
ern and Atlantic railway. The raise is
virtually in the way of restoration of
wages. Two years ago, during the gene
raj business depression, the directors of
the road decided to reduce the wages of
every emplOye about per cent. The
men did not murmur. and there has not
been a single expression of dissatisfac-
tiOn among them. The officers promised
a restitution OF wages as soon as business
would justify it. At the meeting of the
directors held few days since, Senator
Brown, President of the company, pro-
posed that all salaries be advanced per
cent, and his suggestion was adopted.

LOOKOUT FOR THE COMET.
The Celestial Visitor Likely to Show
Up at Amy Time.

The Celestial Visitor Likely to Show
Up at Amy Time.
According to an ephemeris computed at
the Harvard Observatory by MIR. Chand-
Ter, the Southern comet ought to become
visible in these ATTITUDES within a very
few days. Taking as basis the elements
OF the great comet Of 1880, with which
this one appears to be strongly identified,
both as to physical appearances and be-
haviOr, Mr.. Chandler finds perihelion to
have occurred about the middle OF Janu-
airy. The comet has, therefore, passed
around the sun, and is now on its retreat
out into space. AT present 1t is about
100000. 900 miles from the sun, and about
10000, 900 from the earth, and is receding
from both. Its brightness is, therefore,
diminishing, and is now only about one
fifth or so of what il was about two
weeks ago. Still, as it was spoken
of as being of the first magnitude in the
Southern hemisphere, it will no doubt be
visible to the naked eye here, and should
be looked for somewhat low down in the
southwest directly after twilight. At
Melbourne, Australia, the tail extended
upward from the horizon about 30 degs.,
while the nucleus was below the horizon
and invisible. There is some uncertainty
as yet in regard to the exact orbit OF the
comet, owing 10 its close perihelion dis
lance and the difficulty in obtaining ex-
act observations; but unless some very
material error exists in the observations,
the comet should become visible shortly
in the southwest after sunset, and will
set later every night. About the last of
February it will not set until about 1880
p. m. Probably after the weather clears
up the comet may be visible,

We Supply the World.

During the past ten years the Baldwin
Locomotive Works have made over 1900
locomotives, OF which they nave exported
above 900. or these fully 700 have gone
to South America. They not only fur
nish engines to South America, but have
supplanted English locomotives in New
Zealand. They have sent many TO Aus
tralia, to New South Wales and to
Queensland. where the sentiment of
course is entirely in favor of English
manufacturers. Their success is partly
due to the fact that their engines are in
many respects superior to those OF foreign
make. In New Zealand their price was
5000 less than the English price.

GALES AND FOG AT SEA.
The Schooner "HarbesCn Hickman"
Arrives at Quarantine Leaking.

lHCe schooner EL1atDtthCh
Arrives at Quarantine Leaking.
The schooner Harbeson Hickman, Capt.
Kitchens, which put into quarantine
Wednesday night IN distress, is leaking
rapidly. Capt. Kitchens said to MORN
ING NEWS reporter that he left Cardepas
on Jan. 81 bound for Boston with a cargo
OF sugar. He had fine weather up to
Feb. 4. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon
of that day, when 10 miles north of Cape
Roman, the vessel was struck by a
heavy gale coming in from the northeast.
The vessel was reefed down and hauled
by the wind and was kept so until four
O'Clock, when on sounding she was found
TO be leaking badly and was compelled to
run before the wind for the twenty-four
hours succeeding. The crew then
hauled her by the wind and found the
leak still increasing. she was kept before
the wind five or six hours more when the
wind moderated and died down to calm.
A thick fog set in and the vessel lay be-
Gained until Tuesday morning when she
took light sOdtherly wind and bore up
for Tybee. She had to scud before the
wind as far south as the st. Johns river,
Fla,
About the time the gale began to mod
crate the mate began to pour oil over the
stern with marked effect, and the Cap
tain is now firm believer in the oil on
the-wayes theory. The vessel sustained
no damage from the gale other than
springing leak.
In the height of the squat the Captain
was knocked down by the spanker, and
was severely hurt In the back and sides,
besides receiving several bruises on his
head and face. The vessel is at present
awaiting the orders of the managing
owner, Capt. Robinson, who is on his
way here, and will probably arrive to-day
or tomorrow.
The gale which the Hickman eX-
perienced was the same one which struck
the city SO suddenly last Friday after

At meeting of directors of the Tom
bigbee Railroad Company, held in

to survey and locate the line of the rail-
road from Columbus to a point on the
Tennessee river. Preliminary steps have
been taken to raise the necessary funds
10 build and equip the road at an early
date. The road completed gives Column

Thirty miles from there it will lntersect
the Kansas City railroad from Memphis
to Birmingham, and, in addition to giving
competition to the Warrior coal fields,
will open up within thirty miles fine
